Important Nevada LLC Warning
Nevada has high annual fees ($350/year) and aggressive marketing promoting it as a "business-friendly" state. Unless you actually live in Nevada, forming here will likely cost you MORE money due to the need to also register as a foreign LLC in your home state. Form in Nevada only if you live or do business there.
